Also true. And this thread would have come off a lot better if it weren't from one of the genuine corndeauxg tiger fans.


See me how you want. I've enjoyed going back and forth with Bama fans and talking smack. But, my words here are sincere and the pledge stands.

I have no authority to condescend down to Bama any longer. 4 straight victories over LSU and us getting shut out by Arkansas for their first SEC win in 17 games put an end to the controversy. Sometimes our posting needs to reflect reality.

I am all LSU and I have no intention of getting run over here, but I think that some humility is warranted at this point.

Would you feel better if I was aware this place existed when we sucked and cried about how terrible we were to attempt to gain sympathy?


You never quit, do you? In fairness, Alabama sucked for a REALLY long time and you would have had to shed a lot of tears.

I am not asking for sympathy. I am actually trying to give a compliment to Bama fans who have a brain in their head. There is a reason that you're struggling to comprehend what I'm saying here.

I know. For what its worth, I am pulling for Tennessee to get back in the mix again. The SEC is better when Tennessee is competing for East titles.

I have gained respect for a whole group of Bama fans here that continually call out their fellow Bama fans who make one horrible thread after another rubbing LSU's face in our miserable season as though we have not been a worthy opponent over the past decade or so. Seriously. Thank you. I see what you are doing and I appreciate it and it has caused me to gain respect for Bama fans in general. No kidding. The other group that is just writing post after terrible post trying to flame and diminish LSU, you are acting in a way that I have expected from Bama fans - so I am not surprised. But, I have learned through those trying to get you to shut up that your behavior probably just represents the vocal, idiot minority of Bama fans. I live in Alabama and the more that I think about it, the more that I realize that the majority of Bama fans are pretty decent people. But, the bad Bama fans are so obnoxious and so much more so than every other fanbase in America, that is has affected my opinion of the whole. Thanks, first group for helping me see the contrast. You are decent people. As for the second group, you are what you are. Enjoy yourself, I guess. All of this leads me to say that I have decided to no longer flame or attack Alabama in any way until LSU can once again pull out of the Decline and field a competitive football team that actually beats Alabama. It will happen again one day. But, with 4 straight losses, until it does, I really don't have the authority to talk smack to Alabama. So, that is my pledge.


Is this what happens when an LSU fan gets sober? You seem like a beaten man....just totally surrendering the Mighty Tide

Son, you've started a virtually uncountable number of threads about Bama in some type of negative light, just in the past few weeks. If you can hold to this pledge, I'd be surprised.
Pleasantly surprised.

For some reason, Pat Benetar is your soundtrack.

1997-2007, minus 1999, 2002, and 2005. Not nearly as long as rivals make it out to be.

2 Kinds of Bama Fans on this Board


For me it just depends on which side of the bed I wake up on in the morning... you lost to Arkansas that was 0-17 in SEC play dude... WTF did you think would happen. Kentucky would have got a few jabs.

There are Alabama fans that are pretty decent people - good people with a brain in their heads and you can see it in the way they interact here.

There are others who fit the stereotype of the Gump and demonstrate why Alabama is so hated by everyone else. It isn't the winning. It is the attitude.


Do you honestly believe that any fan base on here is represented any differently? Except possibly Vandy?

I still see Alabama in a negative light. I cannot stand Alabama. That hasn't changed.

I just have no desire to continue to flame them until my own team can get their crap together. I am not an Arkansas or Ole Miss fan. Or, a Texas A&M fan. I only want to talk trash when I think that I have a team that can back it up. I don't.

I am not beaten personally. But, I recognize that in this little game that we play on the SEC Rant, you have legitimate contenders who can go at each other and you have wannabes who insert themselves into the big boy conversations and who look foolish. As LSU regresses, I refuse to go tFlagship route of the last couple of years. So, I abandon the field.

For now.

I assure you that my starting of negative threads about Alabama comes from complete sincerity. I just recognize that my team is officially unable to back up anything that I might say at this point, so it is stupid to continue trying.

Plus, I have been sincerely affected by watching decent Bama fans discipline their own fanbase. Take it for what its worth.

One more thing: I am friends with lots and lots of Bama fans in real life. Some of them are jerks about this stuff. Lots of them are decent. Everything gets heightened on message boards because we don't know each other personally and we split into camps.

Good post.

Every fan base has their share of idiot fans.

LSU is no exception.

But they do not represent the vast majority.

This thread is about how you can't stand certain Alabama fans because they talk smack about your Tigers. It's because their team can back it up.

I rarely side with Alabama fans, but LSU fans like you are the people who have turned the LSU-Alabama game into some type of Armageddon type of event because of your hatred of Saban. Really cant blame them blaming them for rubbing your face in it a little bit when you lose
